{"product_id":"category-1-6r140-torque-converter-1","title":"Category 1 6R140 Torque Converter","description":"The SunCoast Category 1 6R140 torque converter is designed to address common failure points in the Ford 6R140 transmission, particularly captive clutch failure. It features furnace-brazed fin construction for improved strength and reliability, and utilizes the factory damper assembly to ensure refined lock-up strategies. This unit also includes a new Torque Converter Clutch and a custom turbine and pump angle manipulation option tailored to customer needs.\n\nKey enhancements include a SunCoast-custom rigid backing plate that reduces deflection, leading to improved apply conformity and a more durable reaction surface than OE components, thereby enhancing longevity. Furthermore, it boasts a new Torrington thrust bearing construction and is precision-balanced dynamically to exact tolerances. The torque converter is also equipped with a billet cover and is manufactured and tested by American workers in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The Ford 6R140 transmission itself is noted for its deep first gear (3.97:1), double overdrive, and one-piece deep skirt case, making it a robust workhorse.\n\nThis torque converter is a suitable replacement for customers who frequently tow heavy loads or use their vehicles for demanding work, prioritizing reliability. Unlike many lockup converters, the 6R140 clutch engages away from the engine block, utilizing a stamped steel backing plate that is prone to flex. SunCoast's custom rigid backing plate mitigates this flex, ensuring better apply conformity and a more reliable, durable reaction surface. The OE clutch's weak leaf springs are also a common failure point, often leading to damage to the cover splines; this converter provides a stronger alternative.","brand":"SunCoast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52664208425272,"sku":"SC-6R140-11","price":2929.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687136366.jpg?v=1784335186","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/category-1-6r140-torque-converter-1","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
